Couldn't even get this to work with my mobo as the bracket just got in the way with a raised section near the back of my mobo. The placement of the molex connector on the front also makes it incompatible with any GPU support brackets, and is just generally far more annoying than having a SATA connecter like many other similar cards. Overall would recommend getting a different expansion card.

Potential problems

Does work, sometimes

Not compatible with some motherboards ... documentation should warn buyers of this, but does not. The board in itself works OK, but the non-compatibility issues should be better documented both in information with the board, and in the advertising literature given to the retailers.

I admit, the drivers are hard to find on the Orico site, but they are there. You will end up with VIA XHCI Host Controller drivers These are fine for this add-in board and will bring it alive, but are NOT COMPATIBLE with motherboards that have on board USB3 capability using an Intel chipset. Installing them will: a) stop your onboard USB ports from working, and b) prevent your computer from shutting down properly. (it will shut down and immediately re-start) .. To fix, go to add/remove programs, look down the list to the 3 entries for VIA chipset drivers and uninstall them. Next, find your motherboard's CD or go online, find and re-install your motherboard's USB3 drivers, and re-boot. You should be OK again.
If you have any USB3 ports on your equipment, go with a powered external USB3 hub; it requires no interactions with your computer, and gives you ports that are easier to get at than at the back of the case. If you have no USB3 ports, and need to add them, look for a plug 'n play card.

Potential for damage

Reviewed by: Robert

Worked once I downloaded the driver.

Aside from the corrupt driver on the supplied disk, and the need to download it, a lot of potential serious problems. PLEASE read other reviews online since it's been reported that this card can damage your usb devices and/or your computer itself, beyond repair. My experience. Need to transfer data from dying drive to new one. Things worked fine for a few minutes, and then the fans in the computer starting running full blast, indicating a heat problem. In another few minutes, the computer froze, presumably from heat. Hit the physical off switch to emergency shut off. If I had not been present, or had not noticed or interpreted the heat problem, and not shut down, I'm fairly confident I would have had fried by heat components. These things have been reported elsewhwhere.

None of this is CC's fault, of course, but I believe they should pull these cheap chinese cards off their inventory.

The upshot is I'm not reinstalling to test it further, and so I'm stuck doing file copies the slow way, via 2.0. Obviously I'm returning it.
